The fishing remains steady here at Whitby as it has done all winter. Sorry this report is a bit late in còming for last weekend. We were busy all weekend from friday through to sunday.
Each day averaged 50/60 codlings to keep with 20-30 chuckbacks too so the rods were nodding away steady all the time.
Best baits remain unwashed squid and black lug.
As long as the weather stays settled we will be starting to venture out to wrecks in the next week or so. I have a mini break booked in so charters will resume from Tuesday 27th Feb.
If youre interested in a trip with me on Mistress here at Whitby, give me a call or text on 07977 436903. Prices start at £5 per hour per person. Tackle and bait can be supplied at cost.

This reports a bit late in coming, it covers last friday and sunday.
Fishing has remained fairly good. Friday we got among the fish again boating 60-70 keepers, with lots of chuck backs.
Sunday we had a slow start with a lift in tides i tried a few other spots ive not visited for a while, but with it being slow i moved for the start of the flood with 4 hours of the trip remaining, we didnt have to move again. We took a steady picking of codlings keeping around 40 and returning the smaller ones.
Best baits continue to be a mixture of dirty squid, black lug and cart.
The weather looks to be coming back off the land for next week, we only need 3 to sail folks, so if youre interested give me a call or text on 07977 436903 to confirm your place.

Cracking day on the Cod here again at Whitby. With a perfect forecast and only two lads I sailed as I didnt want to let them down.
The tides were quite small and thought we were in for a slow day, but it looks like that south easterly motion got the fish fired up in a few places.
We finished up with 60-70 keepers upto 8lb with quite a few throw backs. Best bait was dirty squid and black lug. With a bit of Tonys secret additive!
The best angler caught around 30 codlings himself, the best of the day of 8lb went to Tony from Doncaster.

Happy Christmas guys, hope youve all had a lovely time.
Leading up to the big day we ran a night trip, a few hours sleep then on to a day trip, my deckhand Clag and me were ready for break following our day at sea!
The fishing was ok too, I only had 5 lads for the night trip but we all took a good few fish, 2 lads took a dozen cod and the rest of us 6/8 cod a piece so a good night was had by all.
We were full for the day trip, but had a drop in tides, and a blustery day, meant we were limited to where we could fish, never the less we took a steady picking of cod finishing up with around 50 keepers again, plus chuck backs. The best angler getting around a dozen.
Best bait remains black lug, unwashed squid and cart.
We're running trips again from the 28th, with a day off for new years day.
If youre interested in a days fishing with me give me a call on 07977 436903

Friday turned out to be a successful day and night for the Mistress anglers here at Whitby.
Our day trip saw a good box of fish for the two lads that booked the full boat, they'd caught enough so I filletted their fish for them and got back in an hour and a half early, which gave me the opportunity to prepare for our night trip.
We were all boarded and away for 545pm for our 6hr trip. We moved around a few places through the night and also had a slack water period so it wasnt as fast, best angler took 9 fish to 6lb 8oz. Everybody still caught fish to take home though with quite a few 4/5lbers boated.
So with the weather now taking a bit of a down turn we'll be picking our windows in the weather to get out at the fish. If you want to book a trip with me text or call 07977 436903
Bait available on request.
